The ultimate location for beach lovers! A Shore Thing has been completely remodeled, is set right on the beach, and boasts direct gulf views. Steps from your door, you can take a splash in the water and dig your toes into powder-soft sand. A large living, dining and kitchen area offers a fabulous entertaining space. While outdoors, a wraparound deck overlooking the surf is perfect for sundowners before dinner. Find the best of Port Aransas on your doorstep - the house is just a short drive from shops, restaurants, golf courses, fishing, nature trails, and in-town activities.

The spacious living area offers direct gulf views, with stylish wooden floors and coastal-inspired decor throughout. Gaze across the waves from the comfy sectional or two matching armchairs. In the evenings, host a movie night on the 55-inch TV. The large and open kitchen makes it easy for the chef to cook and chat with your group. Dish up meals at a wooden dining table. Extra perks include complimentary WiFi, cable TV, and a washer/dryer.

Prepared to be wowed by the gulf-front views from your wraparound deck. There’s seating for seven to relax in the sun and watch the rolling surf. After hitting the beach, rinse off at the convenient outdoor shower. Then sizzle seafood and veggies on the barbecue grill.

This unbeatable beachfront setting is just 65 steps from a golden strip of sand and the Gulf of Mexico. Spend the lazy days sprawled beside the waves and enjoying lazy coastal strolls. The house is just a few minutes’ drive to local shops, restaurants, golf courses, and in-town activities. While just 2.5 miles away, nature lovers can spot abundant wildlife, including alligators, fish, and an incredible array of birdlife at Leonabelle Turnbull Birding Center.

Cool place to stay with a direct line to the beach

We had a great time at this house. The beach was steps away, there was a lot of great light and amenities. Perfect for a change of pace and a real beach experience. Would definitely book again.

Great House and Location

A Shore Thing was a wonderful home that we rented for our vacation. The location cannot be beat. I was a little freaked out about driving on the beach to get to the home. The stairs are a little narrow. To enter the home takes some wiggling of the door. I believe this is because the lock is not aligned. Hard to lock as well. Home is very clean and very well kept. Very spacious and very comfortable. Could use some taller chairs to see over balcony. Would definitely rent again.

The location is hard to beat!

We really enjoyed our stay and the location is hard to beat! We came to Port Aransas for Spring Break with our 4 young kids and had a great time! The house is literally situated ON the beach, so the fact that we could just walk outside and be on the ocean was wonderful. The house does come with a variety of amenities, including a regular drip coffee machine, a Keurig, a blender, and a toaster (I didn’t see these things listed on the site and was wondering about them). The only downside was the kitchen amenities, particularly the microwave, stovetop, and oven, as well as the dryer. They’re all pretty outdated. The washer was new, but we had to put the dryer on a 60-minute cycle twice on high heat for each load to get it to dry all the way. Additionally, the hot water tank must be on the smaller side because it seemed to run out when we all took showers at the same time. Other than that, our stay was great and we’ll definitely return for another trip!

The only good thing is the view

Unfortunately, this house was one issue after another. First, there are two beds and a bunk bed room-one bed was so bad we couldn’t sleep on it the rest of our stay and instead slept in the bunk beds. Second, go to get dishes ready to make Thanksgiving dinner and the dishwasher is COVERED in black mold! Covered!!! Third, the refrigerator was leaking on the inside so it got into some of our leftovers :( And finally, it was cold and wet outside - low 50s. But they locked the thermostat so we couldn’t get as warm as we wanted (2 little kids). They did try to install the dishwasher during our last 24 hours of our stay, but who would want someone doing that while they are in a vacation home??? The maintenance man was very kind-the door was very tricky and he came out to help fix. Again, you are paying for the view, and the view was incredible.

This was our first time staying at this beach house; and we were very pleased! The view is amazing. The interior was very nice and clean, & more spacious than we expected. The side door could use a tad bit of work, but other than that, we had zero complaints! The prices were very good. We will definitely be back. This is our new favorite place.

My business partner and I stayed for 2 nights for a fishing trip. Excellent location. Open and spacious with a great deck for relaxing and watching the beach. Clean with comfortable beds. The grill is useless due to corrosion. We would definitely bring our wives back and book this place again.

Everything was great except our vehicles got stuck multiple times in the driveway. The owner needs to ensure that the drive is cleaned regularly. It was very difficult for older adults to be pushing vehicles out of being trapped in the sand. We've stayed in this house many, many times and have never had this problem before. But it made things very difficult. We are staying here again starting Nov. 15. I feel like we should get some reimbursement from our previous stay or a discount on our next stay.

Be ready to use a 4 wheel drive vehicle

The sand covers the driveway - it is about 10 inches deep so yes, it has a great view and yes it is on the beach and yes it is a great house, but you better be aware of the sand - sometimes you can drive in without using four wheel drive, but out of a 6 day vacation we had deep deep sand for all but the first day.
